28th Matins

Psalm 126

1 When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion,
    we were like those who dream.
2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter,
    and our tongue with shouts of joy;
then it was said among the nations,
    ‘The Lord has done great things for them.’
3 The Lord has done great things for us,
    and we rejoiced.

4 Restore our fortunes, O Lord,
    like the watercourses in the Negeb.
5 May those who sow in tears
    reap with shouts of joy.
6 Those who go out weeping,
    bearing the seed for sowing,
shall come home with shouts of joy,
    carrying their sheaves.

Collect

Praise and glory to you,
God of the old covenant as of the new,
for Piripi;
you sent him single-handed
to prepare his people for the gospel;
we praise you for the mana which goes into battle
with a musket in one hand
and a testament in the other.
Amen.

Our Father,
give us today our daily bread.
Living God,
in you there is no darkness;
shed upon us through this night the light of your forgiveness,
your healing and your peace,
that when we wake from sleep
we may know once more the brightness of your presence;
through our Saviour Jesus Christ.
Amen

May God kindle in us the fire of love.
Amen.
